Item type:Publication, Dibujando el rostro de Lima: el mapa de Perrottet y los imaginarios de modernidad del siglo XX(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2022-12-14)This article is part of the research framework of my master's thesis entitled Los mapas de Lima: construcción de representaciones de la ciudad a través de sus planos (1977-2021), which reflects on the construction of representations of Lima through its maps, around the idea of "modernity" and was a reference for the urban changes that occurred throughout the twentieth century. These changes derived from historical processes, such as the rural migrations of the seventies and eighties, fragmented the physical and social organization of the city and placed some in privileged positions and others in marginal positions. lt that context, the first street guide of Lima for commercial use was created by the Swiss Oliver Perrottet in 1977 as a contribution to the process of "modernization" of the city, which was conveniently used by the State and Lima's elite to reproduce an ideological discourse around their ideals of "modernity. By means of this emblematic map of Lima, it will be revealed that although maps are seen as objective tools of cartography, they also act as devices of power and construct representations of the city that contribute to the formation of urban imaginaries that normalize marginalization, injustice, relationships of inequality and a sense of not belonging to one's own city. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Maps’ agency and mountains’ multiplicity: Conflicts triggered by state maps involving pilgrims and desired mining futures in the Andes(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2024-09-01)This article analyzes how the agency of state maps triggered conflicts between rural communities, pilgrims, and state institutions, in which some mountains emerged as multiple entities within and beyond the nature-culture divide. The Quyllurit'i shrine is the focus of an important pilgrimage in the Andes. The Peruvian state established the shrine´s Protected Area in 2010 but had been granting mining concessions around it. Confronted with a state map of the Protected Area surrounded by mining concessions, the pilgrims' organizations called for their nullification and staged protests in Cuzco city in 2016. Meanwhile, the community within which the shrine is located experienced the establishment of the Protected Area as a process of land expropriation. Its members were holders of the mining concessions and aimed to conduct mining on their lands. Mining concessions, the Protected Area, and land titles were the state maps mediating these conflicts.
